Where it counts.

brought about ,,.deep
tensions and conflict over
both doctrine and life-
style.
All this honesty about
the church's checkered
and spotted history,
however,-doesnot resolve
the pain of disunity or
fulfill our longing to be
one in Christ or to be like-
minded by putting on the
mind of Christ as
Scripture enjoins upon
us. Moreover, we know
well enough from ex-
perience that Scripture
means when it says:
"How shall two together,
lest they be agreed." And
so, we should return to
consider the challenge of
Bishop Coggan's
statement: "living
together in love and
harmony."
As Christ confessors,
also in Goderich and
area, we can hardly
ignore such a challenge.
We would then be doing
violence to the central
concern of our Lord for
His church that is so
powerfully expressed in
the words of His High -
priestly Prayer in the
Gospel of John: '`that
they, may be one; even as
Thou Father, art in me,
and I in Thee, that they
may also be in us, so that
the World may believe
that Thou hast sent me."
There are a number of
concerns, I believe, that
we must seriously con-
sider together to prevent
ourselves from much
unnecessary stumbling
about as we work towards
the fulfillment of this
petition of our Lord.
That the sanctifying
(cleansing) work of the
Spirit does not exclude
the reality of sin is one of
these concerns.
Ecumenical enthusiasts
often overlook this. They
would prefer to ignore
conflict of doctrine and
life-style for the sake of
an easy solution to the
problem of church unity.
"This is in part the
failure of the World
Council of Churches. T�
agree upon a simple
doctrine with which all
can identif' may resolve
things on paper but does
not deal with real life,
which is marked by
struggles that have their
force in the lives of people
and churches, regar-
dless.
It is rather in facing up
to these struggles (not
ignoring them) that the
Spirit works to redirect
us and our own peculiar
histories when and where
that is necessary. Such is
the power of the Holy
Spirit's operations to
convince men in and out
of the very brokeness of
their lives. Only then can
sin be turned to our
profit.
That we avoid being
victimized by the
"tyranny of necessity is
another of these concerns
that -I would have us
consider as we labor to
answer the bishop's
challenge for unity. I am
a •
referring to the claim
that denoninations are
necessarily evil and an
essential obstacle to
church unity.
Such a conclusion does
violence, I believe, to the
fact that people have
--their- -own histories - out of
which they come with
their own treasuries
which only they by God's
providence and the
leading of the Spirit could
have received. To discard.
such a diversity of the
Spirit's work within the
universal church for the
sake off so-called "unity"
is simplistic and
destructive.
Rather there is need for
patience . and
largeheartedness until
mutual appreciation for
such varied gifts can be
achieved among the
various branches of the
community of believers.
Even' then, it is not
necessarily the part of
wisdom to dissolve
denominational distin-
ctiveness; for that may
destroy the possibility of
the further cultivation of
these gifts.
We would be better
served if we worked to
find some other way to
share these gifts than the
way „of dissolving all
denominations into one,
the "tyranny of
necessity."
And that is my final
concern, the matter of
"strategy." Rather than
placing the emphasis on
church unity by way -of
dissolving all the bran-
ches of believers into one
trunk thrcugh a watering
down process of doctrine,
let us begin by finding
each other elsewhere.
Rather than beginning in
the center with the tough
questions of doctrinal
differences, let us find
each other at the place
where we do more
naturally rub shoulders
together, where we work
out the implications of the
church's teaching's for
life.
There are many such
areas that .need 'our
united efforts. and
resources. Some of these
we have, already labored
at together. I think now
especially ofabortion and
capital punishment. But
there are many other
areas such as the area of
social services (the needy
and downtrodden) where
the church has a great
responsibility that can
best be fulfilled by
combined efforts of many
denomination's.
Much of this to our
shame has been taken
over by governments
because of our 'failure to
minister in these areas.
Other areas such as
education, racial conflict,
minority rights and
responsibilities, violence
that is done to the earth's
resources because of the
self-centered
materialism of our
generation, etc. cry for,
an 'answer from the
people of God.
I would submit that

learning to work together
in such areas is the more
natural way of achieving
unity and might in time
pave the way towards
doctrinal discussions that
would do less violence to
the purity of God's in-
spired Word.
